No Hogging

No Hogging

Why does she always feel the need to be in the spotlight?
I remember being asked that once
about a colleague who liked to make it
all about her.
We all like recognition for what we do,
but sometimes that comes from putting others first.
Sometimes it comes from
putting others in the spotlight.
Sometimes it comes from
being there to support others
and let others see them shine.
The Ultimate knows what I do
and who I am.
I don’t need to hog the attention,
I just need to be me,
and help others succeed and grow.
There is a different kind of recognition
that comes when we lift others up
and help them to soar.
We don’t have to be in a race
to the spotlight.
Sometimes we need to give people space
so they do not need to step on our toes
in the journey.

Spiritual Bumps

Sometimes we hit a
spiritual bump in our life.
That thing that jars us
and makes us think.
The moment that we come
off of autocruise and
call on our spiritual practices
to do more then get through it,
but to understand the meaning
to the spiritual bump.

This morning I woke up in tears,
grieving losses
which happened years ago.
It was through prayer and processing,
which I came to realize I had not
taken the time to grieve.
The message which triggered this
was not about me
but what was about me
was the grief it triggered.

The grief over my isolation.
The grief over the loss of
who I thought were friends.
The grief over things I thought I had grieved,
only to discover I had not.

Sometimes we need those spiritual bumps
to come to us in our dreams,
in our lives, and
in our visions
to give us deeper meaning
into our lives
and the purpose behind them
